The Sun

The sun hangs high, a golden blaze,
Filling the sky with unblinking gaze.
It watches over the land, fierce and bold,
Turning the ground to burnished gold.

Each leaf withers in its burning glare,
As shadows shrink, nowhere to spare.
The sun, a ruler, fierce and bright,
Holds the day in endless light.

  • Where I’m From

    I am from coffee beans,  

    from bitter brews and cracked porcelain mugs.  

    I am from the steamed soy eggs,  

    the scent that clings to mornings  

    like an old, Chinese dwelling.

  • Wintery days

    Lights aglow on Christmas morn,  
    Laughter and joy in moments reborn.  
    Love fills the air as stories are shared,  
    A day of warmth, with hearts unprepared.

  • To Emily

    In Amherst's shade, where whispers grow,  
    You stitched the seams of all we know,  
    A bee's soft hum, a slant of light,  
    Became the fabric of your night.
